Welcome, Dr. Randy Ott!

In the transition, Randy will maintain his responsibilities to WMU Essential Studies and community college partnerships.

Updates from Student Financial Aid
The U.S. Department of Education announced that the processing of 2024-25 FAFSAs will be delayed until mid-March, meaning students will receive their financial aid offer letter by the end of March/early April. We understand students and families are anxiously awaiting news about their financial aid and we are working hard to get information out promptly. Please visit wmich.edu/finaid/apply on what students can do now to prepare for the upcoming year!
Work-study cancellations begin Feb. 23
Spring federal work-study recipients must have earnings charged to their fall work-study offers by Friday, Feb. 23, or those offers will be canceled. If a student has been hired but will not be paid through work-study until after this date, the student or the employer must notify Student Financial Aid before the Feb. 23 deadline. Emails received after Feb. 23 may not be considered and once an offer has been canceled it may not be reinstated.

Priority registration concludes today at noon. Course offerings can be accessed via goWMU or the WMU Course Offerings page.
Security re-authorization concludes Feb. 16
